I bought one of these for my daughter as a gift a couple of years ago. She uses it several times a week and has had no problems with it. Sorry you are having problems--perhaps the manufacturer should replace it.

I would not bother with this one. I would just research another one and replace it because even if you get it to work it leaves a plastic after taste in your food. It is a neat concept with the probe but the food just does not taste good.

I bought one for stepdaughter and it didn't work and they wouldn't take it back. I just went shopping for crockpots and refuse to buy anything from this vendor.

HB does not stand behind their products. We had one of their crock pots and when the liner cracked, they wanted more for a new liner than buying a completely new HB crock pot on Amazon. Never again. Now we have two Crock Pot brand slow cookers and there is no sign of the liner degrading like the HB did.

It beeps when it is turned On or Off or in any way programmed. The "beep" is like an aknowledgment of a change in it's status. Guessing you should get a replacement as mine doesn't "beep" unless I program something or it has reached it's programmed time and/or temperature. Doubt anything you do manually will fix this. Better call HB. Annoying.

Could be a defective unit. Mine will sometimes make a very slight hum (ear right next to the unit) but even when I'm lying in bed sleeping other than the reassuring click that it turned on, I can't hear the hum. I also am only drawing... ~11A on the heaviest circuit, if you're pulling more than that it could explain a louder noise

It should not be beeping. If it does when you plugged it in for the first time I wonder whether your refrigerator startup surge is triggering it to alarm and start that beeping you are getting. Have you tried to unplug it wait a minute or so and then rep lug it back into the wall outlet before you plug your refrigerator back into it? The only other suggestion is to go to RCA customer service we page and submit a question. Their website page is http://www.rcaaudiovideo.com/support/?kw=PSAPP1R

My iTour stopped charging and turning on - like yours apparently has. This is a wiring problem. I live overseas and iTour wouldn't do anything for me because with delivery times I was past the Amazon 30 day return window. I tried to open the speaker to fix it myself (GOOD LUCK!) and couldn't get it open. It wound up in the trash. Too bad, I really liked it for the 7 days that it worked.

I'm sorry but I checked tell instruction manual and there is nothing about the beeping. Mine is loud enough to hear even in the next room with noises in the background.

We ran into the same problem.. I bought for my sister and she said she had hers for about the same amount of time and then it stopped working. I would go with a different brand if I were you!

I was able to get my unit to ring,but only last a day then you have to reset it again, It sounds like you have defective unit. I would return it for your money back or a better unit. My unit starts ringing if I use my cordless phone!

Really, Rebecca, I wouldn't suggest purchasing this. We had our first one, and the display stopped working very early on, so I thought maybe the battery was bad. When I went to try to change it, there was a mini spark or something shorted. I called the company and sent it in after which they did replace it at no charge. However, we never found it precise in terms of being able to determine sound levels. We used it for voice, and it just went all over the place with no ability to control it in any way. Sorry to sound so negative, but that's what happened to us. I think it would probably measure levels but not with any great precision. Really, Rebecca, I wouldn't suggest purchasing this.

Strange, mine has never beeped, and I didn't do anything to get it that way. The only indication I have for inactivity is the red lines on my step count. Sorry couldn't help!

You probably need to hold the button down longer. There is a different beep and the light starts flashing really fast when it's ready. Make sure you phone's Bluetooth is actively looking for a signal

It sounds like a defective unit. Mine works perfectly.... knock on wood... no issues so far and I've had it for over a yr.

Sorry I can't help you with your problem, but I bought the same one and most of the time I can't get it to ring at all! I've tried replacing the battery, several times and it doesn't help. I am very disappointed with this item. Maybe someone out there has a few answers for my problem?? I would not recommend this item to anyone. I was really looking forward to having the "Christmas chime" during the holidays too - what a disappointment! I've since taken it down. Plus the blue light is so dim you can hardly see it, and I live in an area that is pitch black at night which makes it even that much harder to see! Beware, do not purchase this item, try a different one! Sorry I can't help you with your problem, but I bought the same one and most of the time I can't get it to ring at all!

I got mine yesterday and worked great for about 5 minutes... But I noticed the SOUND on/off option wasn't available on my unit - as shown on the user manual... I then pressed the factory reset option (hoping the sound option would appear), but instead the unit completely quit working... Dewalt said there isn't suppose to be a sound option and didn't know why my user manual was showing it.... There was no fix so I ended up having to return it for a new one... The wait begins again....

Make sure the connector you are attaching to the box itself is in the right position.......it is very tricky. Sometimes I think I have it right and it is not. The shape of it is not the best to distinguish the top from the bottom. Other than that possibility, it could be the indicator light is just simply not working. You may need to send it back for a replacement. And DO THAT.....I absolutely love mine. It is a GREAT little speaker. :)

I never hooked up sound, so I can't speak to that aspect of the device. I think that this is a very old model, it's probably been sitting in the warehouse for a long time. I returned this model immediately after receiving it. It wouldn't power up, when it finally did the screen was obviously damaged - googling suggested the damage was from being too hot. Sorry, that's all I've got. It would be helpful to know what source you have it hooked up to and how you've plugged it in.

It doesn't light up and it is a very loud beep that sounds for each minute increment that is set and beeps for about a minute when time is reached. I can hear it clear across the house.

The problem I had was not lack of sound, but it won't turn on when I plug it in. There must be a short in the electrical wiring on my unit. I did have sound when I began using it -- nothing great, no Bose equipment. I'm sorry, but I think this is junk. I don't know what to do with it. I will find a place that recycles electrical appliances and give it to them. Alison
